Realistic enough. Look for the second hand to move. I like. Hard to critique though. Clear watch, soft color and lighting adds to, would have liked a little more sharpness of knife - if possible. Over fairly good shot.
Very neat, clarity is magnificent. I've been trying to think if the time 3:02 mean't anything, but I'm not coming up with anything. It's been a long time since I've read the book, "A Time To Kill", so I can't remember if there is a significance. The only thing about this shot is that it just seems TOO clean and neat. Killing is messy especially with a knife...maybe there should be more blood, but that's beside the point. Congrads on a nice shot.
Excellent quality on the watch, except for a slight glare that PS possibly could have eliminated. Great color, obvious slow exposure (based on the second hand). If it weren't for your title, though, I wouldn't connect it to the challenge very well. 8 nards656
Nice shot. I think the gradient color across the background works quite well. The limited dof seems to work well in this shot. I would like to see what it would look like with a deep dof though, just for kicks :) Good job! - JB
Very nice. Very clear message. Focus on the watch is perfect as is the lack of focus on the knife. There is enough clarity throughout the photo to get the point, yet still a "in the background" kind of way. Lighting is nice. Was there a reason for the long exposure with the second hand? Something relevant to that specific time that I am missing? It doesn't really matter, doesn't affect my score or anything, just curious. Very nice shot. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
Love your lighting, and composition. Not crazy for the crop at the bottom...I know size limits. This is good, I admire your creativity, it's a good shot. Justine
